As you can see, there are pros and cons to both models of service delivery. In a traditional model, for example, families have direct access to multiple specialists on an ongoing basis, but they may receive mixed messages from providers, and the collaboration among providers may be poor. In a PSP model, the family has to build a trusting rapport with, and arrange schedules to accommodate visits from, only one service provider. Arguably, this model allows for more team collaboration, but there may be some caregiver or provider hesitation depending on the match between the provider’s area of expertise and the child’s developmental needs. Furthermore, there is variation in what providers may experience within each model. For example, some providers working within a traditional model might be compensated for collaborating with other providers, or individual providers might be actively committed to connecting with and ensuring continuity across providers, even if they are not compensated for doing so.

Regardless of service model, home-based providers may at times feel isolated from other providers. They may desire more meaningful exchanges and collaborative brainstorming. As one focus group attendee shared with me: “[It] would be nice if there was a designated time during the week … to sit down and bounce [ideas] off of someone … [I would like more] joint decision making, joint teamwork” (Edwards, 2018).
